Connor Hellebuyck pulled off the save of the Olympic tournament, and Team USA went on to capture its first gold medal in men’s ice hockey since 1980. The Winnipeg Jets goalie made a crazy paddle stop on Team Canada defenseman Devon Toews in the second period of a tie game, before Devils star Jack Hughes eventually sealed the victory with a truly golden goal in 3-on-3 overtime. Hellebuyck, a three-time Vezina Trophy winner and the reigning Hart Trophy winner as league MVP, sprawled back through the crease to deny Toews’ open-net look from short range to preserve a 1-1 tie in the third period.
